Thank you. This was my second time at the Hotel Birke and I would love to come back. The staff is very friendly, the rooms are well equipped and clean. The breakfast is also very varied. I also think the parking option directly at the hotel is great, which is not a given in Kiel.

I had an excellent night's sleep here on my business trip and the family-run hotel team implemented my wishes. The spa area (7-22) with a small swimming pool and saunas with an infrared cabin is visually beautiful & 👌🏻clean / swimming pool from 7. Clock - tea bar and water round off the versatility. The way there was well explained upon arrival! The kitchen is mega and has a Nordic style 🔵⚪️🔴 Price performance too 👍🏻 My room was small but completely ok since I wasn't there that day. Request: free parking for business trips possible from the Birke family, all the best I'll be happy to come back with more Time - I really appreciate the service here

I wanted to relax by the pool for two days, but that wasn't possible due to the many children/toddlers. This hotel is not for those looking for peace and quiet like me, but it is ideal for families with children. I left more tired and stressed than before my arrival and left disappointed. I won't book it again.

Quietly located hotel with a large spa area, which we unfortunately couldn't visit due to time constraints. Very tasty food at “Fischers Fritz”. Very nice courteous staff. There are enough parking spaces outside of the hotel parking lot.

I had the pleasure of staying there as part of a business trip in August 2024. The hotel, the room, the food and the service spirit of the staff were world class! I had excellent meals there two evenings. The cuisine is of a very high standard, but the price-performance ratio is still good. The service was exemplary, some top hotels that have one more star in the 5-star segment can really take a page from this. Attentive, unobtrusive and friendly - I felt very comfortable. My room was great, nice and quiet and modernly furnished. It's always a good feeling when a business trip feels like a vacation. The breakfast was also excellent and left nothing to be desired. I also liked the organization - you are basically shown to your table. In the evening I recommend making a reservation. The pictures of my several-course menu, which I was able to put together flexibly myself, speak for themselves. I wish the hotel staff all the best and continued success, because the hotel and catering industry is a tough business, especially when it comes to difficult guests. I can highly recommend the hotel with a clear conscience! Keep it up, lots of love!
